PushScales

Hello,
this my first attempt to simulate the notes/scales of PUSH.
Now it´s working with the Major Scale only. I am a dummy programming Lemur. I need help to upgrade this.
You could make everything you want with this.

Download the module: https://sites.google.com/site/germanovazmartins/introducao/PushScales%20V0.05.jzml?attredirects=0&d=1
[color=#FF0000]Other versions with lots of scales, keys and chords on later posts in this thread.[/color]

Help to make it better.

Thanks

Germano Martins

Subject: Re: PUSH Scales Simulator (with download)

I think this is a great idea.
I found this while looking for LiveControl 2 options for other scales. The layout for LiveControl 2's keys is small, especially because it's on the iPad. Having a Lemur Template which would use almost the entire screen for the keys/buttons, would be very useful... especially if it includes obscure and interesting scale types.

Hello,

I would like to use it like a midi keyboard (push like chords/scales).

I change the layout. Now the grid Grid occupies all the screen. To be similar than Push pads (bigger pads).

I make a menu that let us change Low-octave, Key and Scales.

I put all the scales that comes with Push.

The color of the grid change depending of the scale. Like Push.

With me, the sound do not continue. Try another sound source (some of them do not stop).

Thanks

The pads in v36 are only sending note on and upon changing the scales it sends all the notes because the trigger settings of the pads are set to "any" where they should be set on "-".

I tiried a quick fix if you dont mind.

Now if i had any knowledge about chords, i would implement that too.

There are some really nice tutorials on how to play Push as a melodic instrument (different ways to play scales, chords and their inversions).

Thought i post this so that this template makes more sense to people.

I might integrate a chord module now that i have an idea how to set up chords I hope it is ok if i go on developing on this template.

Thanks electrofux.

Use the template as you wish.

Here is the current PushScale Template. It is part of my Reason System so there are a couple of controls that can be deleted (i will do a slimmed down version once it is finnished).

The Prog and Sequ buttons dont work atm and the Patch, Track ad Transport buttons are Reason specific.

I have adjusted the chords that overlap the right side of the pads, hope they are right. And i still have to do this for the chords overlapping the top side of the pads.

On the right side you can select what type of chord you want to trigger. They were implemented according to the Push Tutorial i posted above.
The Hold function currently works for one key pressed, so either a single key or a chord.

The chord section should work for all 7note scales.

I also want to implement a way to save specific chords to built together a progression- that is what the "Prog" button is for.

I forgot it only works with Midi Target 1.

PushScalesv05.rar

the above version has some problems with stuck notes and slow response which is related to the notelength variable in the attack field of each pad.
I have fixed that in my internal version and will upload a better working soon.

So here is the latest version. Cleaned up and alot of fixes in there. It uses Midi Target 1. The "Prog" Key opens a container. Any Chord that is hit gets buffered while the record key is enabled. The next of the 8 Pads you press it gets set to. Disable the record button and press that pad and you should hear that chord.

There is still the problem with Chords triggering notes higher than the top Pads. They will result in very low notes. Still thinking about how to fx it.

Apart from that it is working alot better now. Retriggering is fast and alot less stuck notes.

I like it very much.
I love the automatic chords.

Now i am using it.

Please continue your excelent work.

Thanks electrofux

I have found a bad bug in the template which i need to correct. It affects the non 7-note scales. They dont update the colours. I will post a fix soon.

It's not working for me at all. It does not send midi notes and anything via MIDI. I'm running MIDI spy and when i change template it works, when I switch back to this - it doesn't.

What I'm doing wrong?

Did you set your midi port to Lemr Midi Target 1?
